THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1960 <9 a Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER HURRAY FOR BOOKS! is the slogan of Book Week, November 13-19, this year and it seems high ly appropriate as one views the bright stream of new books for children, making reading attrac tive, inviting to learning at all stages from the traditional ABC to the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Sciences. I My favorite among the new A B C's has a nursery rhyme for each letter and is illustrated irt color by Jban Walsh Anglund who was author-artist of three iduch beloved small books, begin ning with “A Friend is Someone Who Likes You.” With a larger page and a wider range of color sue has done some exquisite pic tures in her own definite style—at once firm, crisp and delicate. See liie one, ‘‘The King of Spain’s daughter comes to visit me, and ail for the sake of my little nut tree.” The book is called IN A PUMPKIN SHELL and is pub lished by Harcourt, Brace & Co. $2.95) Another lovely book for the small ones is UNDERNEATH MY APPLE TREE (Lippincott $3.00). The verses are by Monroe Stearns, the pictures by A. Zab- ransky; this is the same pair that gave us RING-A-LING. This one, as you may gather from the title, deals with the delights of out doors: AND DOG and is full of action and fun. The standard price for these easy-reading books seems to be $1.95. That applies to all those mentioned above; a few others cost up to $2.50. Then there is a book on be havior for the very young that is both amusing and impressive. It IS by Jo Ann Stern and is called IF EVERYBODY DID ($2.95). As the title suggests, it deals with problem situations by asking, “Did you ever think what would happen if everybody did things like—make tracks?” The results in picture form of tracks on floors, walls and ceiling are hor rific enough to impress even the most careless child. ‘ Come underneath my apple tree. Lie in its green-gold shade, with me.” This is a smaller book than KING-A-LING and has as wide a range of mood, but it has that same imimediate einjoyment of everyday things from insects to moons. The artwork is exception ally fine—free, imaginative but not obscure. With all the talk about children learning to read, there is, as you would expect, a flock of books aimed at pleasing the beginning reader and giving him confidence. The favorites will probably still be those of Dr. Seuss. This year he contributes GREEN EGGS AND HAM to a new series “for Beginning Beginners.” In a vo cabulary of just fifty words with plenty of the fantastic pictures his readers love, he carries his story iiom one absurd situation to an other and finally to a triumphant end. Other authors in this series have needed a hundred words to tell their stories but, when the young, reader is so far advanced, I should like to recommend PUT ME IN THE ZOO by Robert Lop- shire. A close second to Dr. Seuss’s books for popularity with the youngest readers are the stories of ‘‘Little Bear” by Else Holme- lund Minarik. This year in LIT TLE BEAR’S FRIEND she tells Us how Little Bear makes friends with Emily and of the good times they have together. These are mild, gentle stones, and children easily identify with the charac ters. The same author has pro duced an even simpler book for the child who is halfway through the first grade. It is called CAT For older children, there are new stories of adventure and mystery, histories, biographies, books on science. Oliver La Farge has adapted his PICTORIAL HIS TORY OF THE AMERICAN IN DIAN for young people. It is a handsome book, profusely illus trated in the usual Golden Book style ($5.95), and covers Indian history from the Mound Builders to how the Indians are managing today. Mr. La Farge is well known for his work among the Indians and his championship of their rights. This is a book to give a youngster or anyone a real under standing of these people. There are several books for the lovers of horse stories, including new ones by Walter Farley and Marguerite Henry. The latter who is well known in these parts for MISTY OF CHINKOTEAGUE laid in the Carolina islands, has made a departure in writing of an Italian boy and half-Arabian horse that he rode in a famous race, the Palio of Siena. It is a tense tale of an unusual attachment between a boy and a horse, and of the discipline and fortitude demanded of the riders in this race with its pageantry and ancient traditions. Based on her three trips to Italy and her interviews with many people in Siena, Miss Henry says this is a tiue story about a real boy and a leal horse, GAUDENZIA, PRIDE OF THE PALIO. It has been handsomely illustrated by Lynd Ward. Then there are good adventure stories. One of the best is by Stephen Meador, BUFFALO AND BEAVER, Harcourt ($2.95). Boys will envj' sixteen-year-old Jeff Barlow'who went with his father and two other Mountain Men into tile Rocky Mountain wilderness where they trapped beaver, holed up for the winter and came out in the spring with a fine load of pelts. The author avoids trite mel odrama and stresses the planning and skill- necessary to carry out such an expedition successfully. But there is action, too; Jeff’s first encounter with a grizzly, the meeting with the great buffalo lierd, the night the Indians stole their horses. Mixed with this we have vivid word pictures of the beauty of the country and learn of Jeff's desire to paint it, a desire so keen that he found materials even in the wilderness and made pictures on deerskin hides.

God is in all places and at all times, there is! no escaping him. But as we were thinking last week, there is a dif ference in the way he Is present. Some mem never are aware of God, just as a blind man is unaware of light. Others are painfully a- ware, as a man may writhe under fear of the wrath of God. But what God wants o f every man is to be his Father and his Friend. This Dr. Foreman comes (as we know) only after sin . has been confessed and forgiven. But when this comes to pass, whether we say "God in my life’ or “my life in God” or "my life with God,” such life has a treasure, the “pearl of great price.” "I Lov9 the Lord, Beeauso .. r” From the many things that can be said about living in the joyful presence of God, let us select three. One is; It is a life of thankfulness. The man of faith does not simply take what comes, as a dull matter of course. He is aware of God’s gifts and is grateful. 'The Psalms numbered 116,117 and 118 are like musical compositions with Intep- woven themes; one of these is in the words "I love the Lord be cause . . .” Because he has heard my voice . . . because he inclined his ear to me ... the Lord has dealt bountlfuUy ... Thou hast delivered my soul from death . . . We-may well be grateful to other people, our parents, our friends, the un counted persons who make life liv able for us. We may well be thank ful to church and state and school, to inventors and artists and poets; what would life be without them? But when we push our thinking still farther, we realize that in the long run all good things corns from the Father who created heaven and earth. Whatever good life may bring, it is God who sends each gift-laden day upon its way. Mueb la LIHia The 117th Psalm is the shortest chapter in the entire Bible. (Oddly enough. It is next-but-one to the longest chapter!) Short though it is, it says much in its five lines. The Psalmist scarcely begins his psalm before he comes to the end of it. But even in those few words we can see that the life with God is a life of testimony. The Psalmist lets every one know he worships God, the God of all. He does not hide his happiness, he does not think of religion as a strictly pri vate affair. He gives testimony to his faith. Let it always be under stood that testimony by words la worth little if there is no testimony in life. But the true religious life is not a silent one. The person who has discovered God as the Great Companion cannot be silent about it. This Psalmist sings of a God who is not his own private dlety, but the Lord of nations, the Lord of the whole earth. The true God is not a tribal god, tied to one na tion or church or race. He la Lord of all. “Qlvt Us Snoem!” In Psalm 118 the bright thread of life and the dark strand of Death are intertwined. (This like 116 and 117 were among the hymns sung at Jesus’ Last Supper.) But in the end. Life is the stronger. Ufe with God is Power and Joy; “The Lord is my strength and my song.” This Psalmist is not an unreallstio dreamer. Life even for those who live in God and with God, has its dark times. Look at the harsh words in this Psalm: "distress,” "those who hate me," "they sur- roimded me," “I was pushed hard so that I was falling . , Victory is still to be won, joy is not com plete, as we can see from that cry, “Give us success!” The life with God Is not a life without struggle, seldom a life without defeat. Troubles, temptations, taska trials and tears there will be. Success in the worldly sense may never come. But success against the same forces that fight against God, we rnay expect In the end. The Christian is not like a ship on a calm summer voyage; rather, he is a ship battered by winter’s storms, making port at last.
